Authentic experiences in Vietnam

If you are looking for a special experience of Indochina, whether it includes learning to cook authentic local cuisine in Vietnam, or staying in unusual accommodation such as a traditional junk-boat or a farmer’s house in the Mekong Delta, then look no further than Wendy Wu Tours’ first dedicated Indochina brochure, which features a range of new escorted tours to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Staying overnight at a local farmer’s house in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, where you participate in cooking the evening meal after having explored floating markets, villages and plantations is available in the ‘Vietnam Highlights’ tour, an 16 night fully inclusive tour of the country. It also includes an overnight stay in a traditionally designed junk boat in Halong Bay as well as a cooking class in Hue, where participants learn to cook local dishes designed for the Vietnamese Royal Court.

Priced from £2,190 per person to include international flights, departure taxes, current fuel surcharges, domestic transportation, all meals, daily tours, entrance fees and visa fees for UK passport holders.

Overall, tours range between 10 and 28 days and prices start from £1,690 per person for a ten day Vietnam Impressions fully inclusive escorted tour. There is also a £100 per person reduction on any Indochina tour booked from the new brochure by the end of July for travel this year.
